    Hi everyone,

     

    We're testing out some changes in v182 (currently in beta) that should hopefully help with this. Let us know if you continue to run into problems.

It has killed me 5 separate times on a brand new machine with Windows 11 and I won't be able to stay with Dropbox if this is going to happen over and over again. It's completely untenable for dropbox to kill windows every 10 days or so.
